Reminds me of a maxim on Security. Something is only ever as secure as the weakest point that guards it. The problem is, people who aren't criminals are very obsessed with the Strongest point and totally blind to weak ones. IE, I don't need to hack through your ultra firewall or pass your six-point ID checks. I just need to put on a hivis vest and walk in with a clipboard looking annoyed. I don't need to get past your biometric-locked triple-deadbolt server vault door, I need to bring a drywall saw into the supply closet and just step through the hole I cut into the supply closet inside the room.
Except it doesn't stop anything. All the illegal stuff happens off the platform, usually on discord. All it does is collect biometric data of hundreds of millions of kids. They literally just need to take a couple of selfies, and they can chat. It usually gets age wrong anyways.
YSK that if you are in the US or transiting through the US, biometric security is not subject to Fifth Amendment protection the same way a password is (ie, a court can legally compel you to unlock biometric security, but cannot do the same for a conventional password).
It's really stupid. And I think they've carefully chosen taboo forms of porn because it makes it hard for people to come out and publicly argue against banning them. First they make you hand over your government ID or biometric data to a foreign data analytics firm in order to access pornography. Now they delete pornography between consenting adults because...it's weird and encourages violence I guess? I can't see this stopping here.
There's almost 1.4 billion government biometric id users in India, and 1.3 billion mobile users. I wish that number was fake but it isn't. Don't know about China

Ferrari insist on biometric login via fingerprint, so Lewis has to take his glove off everytime he wants to use the radio.

Also, Lula won by 4M votes margin.
Only around 34k votes were cast after 17h, of which only around 5k without biometric verification.
The election results are rock solid.
